Abstract:
We studied the function of the auditory system in Wistar rats after repeated intravenous administration of nicotinamide riboside (NR). The functional activity of the receptor and retrocochlear parts of the auditory system were assessed by recording short-latency auditory evoked potentials (SLAEPs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) at baseline, immediately after NR administration, and 1 and 2 months later. Repeated intravenous NR administration (cumulative dose of 2700 mg/kg) to Wistar rats has a detrimental impact on the structures within the cochlear section of the auditory system.

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...
